Chapter 9
Everyone's Pasts and Records
"I've had enough of these pranks!" Kagome yelled when she and Inuyasha got back from the basement. Her and Inuyasha's faces was sweaty and a little ashen. "I swear I saw one of those girls drop a butcher knife on me!"
Sango and Ayame immediately stood up. "They dropped a butcher knife on you!" they asked in unison.
"Kagome would have died if I didn't push her out of the way." Inuyasha replied. "They are behind every attack they pulled on us."
"We need to find out who they are and what they want." Koga said quietly. Ayame turned to him.
"And how are we going to do that genius?" she retorted.
"I've seen them hang out on the beach nearby. One of us could talk to the or something." Koga answered. All heads turned to Miroku.
"What?" he asked.
"You'll be the one to talk to them." Kagome said. "Starting tomorrow morning."
"What! I'm not going to talk to a bunch of girls that trying to kill us!" Miroku yelled. "And if I'm going to do it then at least have someone with me!" All heads turned to Sango this time.
"Ah, hello no!" she protested. "I'm not going to do this!"
Inuyasha, Kagome, Koga and Ayame grinned maliciously at each other. Koga and Inuyasha grabbed Miroku and pushed him into their room. Despite Sango's screams of protests, Kagome and Ayame took hold of her arms and literally dragged her into the bathroom.
"I swear, you guys are going to pay for this," Sango threatened. It was the next day and she was sitting at the bar with Kagome. Ayame and Koga were lying on the beach, going to cover Miroku's back. Inuyasha was going to meet up with Kagome at the bar but he had to do something first. "I can't believe you're actually going to make me do this with the pervert…"
Inuyasha sat next to Kagome with his CD player in his hand. "Looks like you sure took your anger out on Kagome." He looked at Kagome's bandaged hand. Sango glared at the hanyou with eyes of stone.
"Kagome Higarashi! Ayame Lily! Get your damn hands off me!" Sango yelled as her friends dragged her into the bathroom.
Ayame locked the door behind them while Kagome sat Sango onto the toilet. "You're going to do this whether you like it or not Sango Tajiya!" they screamed at the same time.
"And you're going to stay in this bathroom until tomorrow morning." Ayame replied.
"Fuck no!" Sango shrieked. She tried to get away but Kagome held her back. Ayame unlocked the door and ran out to the boys' room. She hammered on the door until Koga opened it.
"What do you need Ayame?" he asked.
"Do any of you have rope? Sango is trying to get loose." Ayame answered.
From the bathroom, they heard Kagome yell, "OW YOU BITCH! YOU BIT ME!"
Koga shifted his position slightly. Ayame was able to see into their room to see that Inuyasha was tying Miroku to a chair. Inuyasha tied the final knot and handed the remaining rope to her. "Here Ayame. You can have the rest of this."
"Thanks."
Kagome spotted Inuyasha's CD player with him. "What is that for? We have a mission to do and we need everyone's focus on deck." Kagome responded.
"You think I didn't know that? I was able to construct my CD player to record anything that is said into a speaker and onto a blank CD. Miroku has the speaker hidden in his hair." Inuyasha explained.
"Good work Inuyasha." Kagome congratulated. The both of them slapped their hands together.
Sango threw her hands in the air. "Hello? I still don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do!" she assumed angrily.
"After Miroku is done talk to those girls for a while, you're going to go over there and pretend you're his girlfriend." Inuyasha instructed. Sango ordered a Shirley Temple and cussed the alphabet in English and Japanese as she drank it.
Miroku went up to the group of girls nervously. What would he say? "Well, hello ladies." He began.
They looked up at him and stared at him with a weird look. They know that it's me…They know that they're supposed to kill me…Miroku thought, getting even more nervous. The two girls that dropped the rocks on Inuyasha and Kagome looked suspiciously at him.
"So why don't you introduce yourselves. I'm Miroku Houshi." He replied with a fake smile.
"I'm Kesshou." One of the girls began. She had long wavy blond hair with cat ears on the top of her head. She also had large bold green eyes. "This is my younger sister Aki." Aki looked so much like Kesshou that it was hard to tell them apart. Kesshou…she's the one who asked her friends if we were outside the store they were in. And Aki must have been the one to call her 'onneesan'.Miroku presumed.
"I'm Sayo Ui." Another replied. She had mid length dark brown hair and the same color eyes.
"I'm Reishi, Sayo's sister." She had shoulder length brown hair. She was wearing heavily tinted sunglasses but Miroku could see that she had one brown eye and one green eye. She's the one who told the others that 'more important matters were coming up'…I wonder what they mean…
"Hiroshi Yamatori." It was the girl with laired dark brown hair and matching eyes. She looked a lot like Sayo though her hair was shorter and her skin was slightly lighter.
"Sandera Ton." Said the girl next to Hiroshi. She was the other one who helped Hiroshi in dropping those rocks. She had long black hair and black eyes. Something about her cold stare sent chills down Miroku's spine.
"I'm Chione Tamesis." Said another girl. She had wavy black hair and dark eyes.
"The name's Kameko." A girl with short black hair and dark blue eyes spoke up. She pointed to the girl beside her. "This is my best friend Megan." Megan had light brown hair and green eyes. Just by looking at the both of them, he knew they were the ones who tried to drown Ayame in the ocean.
"Well, all of you have wonderful names to match your faces." He replied. Sandera, Hiroshi, Kesshou, and Sayo rolled their eyes as the others kept blank, bored faces on. The he heard his name being called.
"Miroku! Oh Miroku!" the person called. He turned his head to see Sango walking towards him. His jaw dropped when he saw her appearance at first sight. Sango's sleek and shiny hair was left down and crimped expertly. She was wearing a hot pink bikini with a silky black skirt decorated with hot pink flowers. She had shiny lip gloss on her lips, slight blush on her cheeks, and pink eye-shadow.
"Sa…Sango! What are you doing here?" Miroku asked, gawking at her beauty. She lightly pressed her lips to his for a moment and then broke of his grasp. He could taste her raspberry lip gloss and smell her sweet perfume of wild strawberries.
"Miroku, did you forget the time? It's nearly time for our reservation dinner." She replied with a smile. Sango was acting out her best fake cheeriness to fool the group of girls. Sango pretended just to notice them. "Oh, did you meet new friends?"
"Um…yeah." Miroku replied. For the first time, he took his eyes off Sango and introduced them all to his "girlfriend". They each smiled and waved politely at Sango, though Sango and Miroku knew they were faking it. Both of them said their good-byes and made their way back to the vacation house.
"Do have anything on those girls now?" asked Miroku.
"Inuyasha and Koga are checking their records out now." Sango answered. Miroku couldn't tear his eyes off the women net to him. "What?"
"Did I ever tell you that you look beautiful right now?" he purred.
"Oh, lay off the flattery!" she ordered.
"I wasn't just saying it." Sango blushed as she was taken back a bit. "And what was that kiss for anyway?"
"It is such as a thing called acting." Sango retorted. She unlocked the door to the house and the both stepped inside. Sango was about to go off to join her friends in the boys' room when Miroku grabbed her wrist.
"Wait a minute Sango." He said. She stopped and Miroku walked over to her. He gently put both his hands on both sides of her face and pulled her into a kiss. She didn't struggle because she was so surprised by how gentle he could be. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. They finally broke away and all Sango could do was look away and blush. Miroku smiled at her cute reaction and went around her and into the boys' room. After a several minutes, Sango went inside.
"What do we have?" asked Sango.
"We've scouted Kesshou and Aki Mori's records only to find out that they're cat demons with a very bad record." Inuyasha answered. He was sitting at the desk typing furiously on Koga's laptop. "They've stolen money, vandalized street corners, harassed people, drank alcohol, and other things that any Juvenile Delinquent would do."
"But hold on a minute. Those records said that Kesshou and Aki were 18." Ayame pointed out.
"They are 18. Those skeletons were when they were minors of the law. Since those cat demons turned into legalized adults, they've had a clean record." He answered. "Here are Reishi and Sayo Ui." Everyone looked at the screen of the laptop.
"Looks like Reishi has a record for stealing and getting away with it. And Sayo has one for vandalism, drinking, and knife fights with other gangs." Kagome said. "Do any of you know what we're dealing with?"
"This is so bad. Any of us could be killed…" Sango mumbled. Inuyasha typed up two more records.
"These next two are among the worse that the other four. These are of Hiroshi Yamatori and Sandera aka Shinji Ton. Hiroshi Yamatori, Age 17, record of illegal drag races, vandalism, underage drinking, and smoking illegal pot. Sandera aka Shinji Ton—oh my word…"
"What?" asked Kagome.
"That girl Shinji looks like Kikyo…" he said quietly.
"You mean our childhood friend…?" asked Miroku.
"You mean your ex-girlfriend Kikyo…?" Koga questioned.
"Yeah…that Kikyo…"
"Who's Kikyo?" the girls asked with annoyed unison. Inuyasha said nothing. He stood up and walked out the door.
Koga took the seat in front of the laptop and read off the rest of Shinji's records. "Record of illegal drag races, vandalism, providing alcohol to minors, and several accounts of murder." He read off.
"Murder?" inquired Miroku. Koga nodded. "She sounds like the worst."
"She is. Kinbari and Chione both have accounts of drinking, selling alcohol, vandalism, illegal drag races, and knife fights. Only Chione has the record of stealing other people's cars and then wreaking them. Kameko and Megan have the records of creating weapons of harm and destruction and stealing. Hiroshi, Sayo, Kesshou, Aki, and Kinbari have drunk while being underage. Hiroshi and Chione also have a record of attempted murder on several people." Koga explained.
"We have to be careful now. Now that we know what more we're dealing with, these girls are very dangerous." Ayame warned.
"With a dangerous background, we can no longer take any chances." Miroku added. All five of them heard a knock at the door that made them jump. Kagome got up to get it.
When she opened the door, she saw a youkai with long silver hair and gold eyes and a woman with black hair in a high ponytail with feathers. Her eyes were a shocking ruby red color as she was fanning her self with a fan. "Hello, is Inuyasha Taisho here? My name is Sesshomaru Taisho, his brother, and this is my girlfriend Kagura." the youkai asked.
Kagome shook her head. "I'm sorry. He went out for a walk. But may I please take a message for him?"
Sesshomaru said, "Mind if come in? This is really important. He's found out where we are and he's coming after us!"
